Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Leon felt the need to make a change.

In his opinion, Antolia has always been in a state of barbaric growth.

Take Todd as an example. A few days ago, he was commanding the Viscount Guards. In the past two days, he has been chatting with mercenaries. Tomorrow, he may be supervising the training of militiamen. The main thing is to wander around.

Therefore, Leon wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go north to quell the chaos, and first arrange the organization of the army, at least so that even though the sparrow is small, it should have all the internal organs.

According to Leon's plan, he will divide his legion into three parts, namely the Antolian Mercenary Legion, the First Antolian Militia Regiment and the Lapruk Legion.

The First Militia Regiment was actually the former Antolia Fire Volunteer Team, but after experiencing the previous fierce battles, Leon converted them all into regular members.

When people sit at home, they will compile what comes from heaven.

In Leon's vision, each legion will be a regiment of a thousand men.

Of course, it’s not enough yet.

After all, the total population actually ruled by Leon now is less than 5,000 people, and that's after adding the Lapluk people.

So the current situation is about 200 people from the Antolian Mercenary Legion, 200 people from the First Antolian Militia Regiment, and then the Lapruk Legion...

Well, the number of Lapruk's legion is a mystery.

Because in the previous statistics, every Lapluk man said that he could go into battle, which was too exaggerated, so let's calculate it as 500 people.

This ratio is extremely terrifying, or extremely abnormal.

[Note: The military-civilian ratio will be explained if you turn a page or two more, read it first before spraying it]

In addition, Leon even retained the number of the Andal Fire Volunteer Team, which is a reserve force.

Only in Antolia can a team of this size be formed from a population of less than 5,000 people.

Generally speaking, when the military-civilian ratio reaches one-tenth, it is already a critical moment of life and death. The military-to-military ratio seriously exceeds the standard, but Antolia even reached one-fifth.

However, Antolia's army cannot be calculated like this.

Strictly speaking, those who are not engaged in labor production at all are actually only the mercenary army of two hundred people, who can still bring extra income to the Jimena family.

Except for the mercenaries, the rest are not professional armies.

Just like the militia, they still have to farm, hunt, and participate in the renovation project of old houses in the Thorn Territory. Being a militia can only be regarded as a side job.

This is especially true for the Lapruk people and the volunteer team. At most, they only participate in training every one or two days. Anyway, now that the food is sufficient, they can naturally afford it.

As for going north to quell the chaos this time, Leon did not plan to use the militia. After all, he still had to leave enough people to guard his home in case someone stole the crystal.

Therefore, two hundred Antolian mercenaries and two hundred Lapruk warriors constituted the composition of the army heading north this time.

As for Leon personally leading the army, this was really not a whim, but because after this battle, he wanted to take a trip to Parma City.

After all, he is a vassal of the Duke of Galicia, so it is necessary to establish a relationship offline. After all, there is still moon velvet business to discuss, which is Antolia's cash cow.

…

Soon, the three-day period came and Aaron sent the viscount off to the expedition outside the city.

Todd leads the army and Aaron guards the home.

This is basically the standard configuration for Antolian mercenaries when they go out.

The only difference is that this time, Leon also personally accompanied the army to fight.

Looking at the team of more than 400 people, Knight Danielson who came to ask for help burst into tears.

He knew very well what had happened in the Thorn Territory before. The dried meat hanging on the city wall and the bones piled outside the city were ironclad evidence that the Antolian people had experienced a bloody battle.

But even so, Leon still managed to gather 400 soldiers regardless of past grudges and casualties. This sentiment was truly touching.

"Four hundred soldiers, each with twelve Andal silver coins per day, plus introduction fees, travel expenses, etc., a total of two thousand and forty Escudo gold coins."

"In addition, there will inevitably be casualties after the battle. Let's just round up to a whole number. Two thousand five hundred gold coins is not too much for you, right?"

Leon waved the note in his hand:

"Don't forget to pay."

Suddenly, Knight Danielsson, who was still looking moved, suddenly turned dark, and had no choice but to say:

"good!"

He really didn't expect that Antoria, after experiencing the bloody battle, would be able to piece together a team of 400 people. Then he said the more the better, and agreed to Leon's triple commission. price.

If he had known that there would be 400 soldiers, he would not have agreed to pay three times the commission even if he was killed.

"Don't feel bad! This is a matter of life and death for the Earl. The money is well spent!"

Leon comforted with concern.

"The Viscount knows how to do business."

Danielsson had no choice but to claim yes, but then he changed the topic and said what he had been holding back for a long time:

"However, if the Viscount continues to give money to the untouchables as he does now, I'm afraid no amount of gold coins will be enough..."

Danielsson actually doesn't care what happens to the Thorn Territory.

He only cares about whether Antolia can serve as a shield for Gray Water Castle for a long time, blocking the invasion of plateau hounds, or in other words, can share some pressure on Gray Water Castle in the future.

If you don't pay the people, you still want them to work hard?

Although Leon knew the conventions of this era, he still resisted the temptation to look like a fool and replied with approval:

"Yes! You are right!"

"I didn't think carefully enough about this matter."

Of course he knew that people would obey orders without calculating work points, but was it money that Leon was short of?

Well, Leon is also short of money, but he values ​​efficiency more!

It usually takes two and a half days to get from the Thorn Territory to the Gray Water Castle, and casual chatting is just a little embellishment during the boring march.

The team of four hundred people marched north along the road, looking energetic from a distance.

Although there is no strict formation like the Antolian militia, no matter from any aspect, this can be regarded as a good fighting force.

After all, they are Antolian mercenaries who never miss any war.

Even the Lapluk warriors who accompanied the army for the first time were brave and good at fighting, and they never lacked experience in fighting wild beasts.

Danielson didn't know how long his count could hold on.

But he believed that as long as the knights of Gray Water Castle could hold on to the Earl's Lord's Castle, they would definitely be able to deal with the current crisis in Gray Water Castle when reinforcements arrived.

When the reinforcements from Antolia passed through the dense forest and stepped onto the plain, not far away, the walls of Gray Water Castle were already in sight.
